BUTTON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,575, dated April 27, 1886.

Application filed February 24, 1586. Serial No. 193,007. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWIN E. HANF, of Wilmington city, State of Delaware, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buttons, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thereof, in

Which- Figure 1 is a top plan view. Fig. 2is a separate view of the clamp. Fig. 3 is a sectional view through line X. X, Fig. 1.

Like letters of reference indicate similar parts in all figures.

My invention relates to that class denominated detachable buttons for wearing apparel; and it consists in the peculiar arrangement, construction, and combination of the several parts, as will be fully hereinafter described.

Referring to the drawings, letter A is the round or head part of the button, having a hole punched through its center,and is struck up out of a solid piece of metal; or it may be made of any suitable material.

B is a rivet passing through the hole in the head part, having itself a solid head thereon to prevent it from passing through the headpiece of the button. This rivet B passes through the clamping device underneath the head A, and is riveted thereto by the process of flattening or mashing it down thereon, so.

construction to my device have been made,

and I do not claim such; but

What I do claim is- The detachable button herein shown and described, having head A, rivet B, clamping device 0, with its tongue'pieces c 0, working loosely or swiveled to the rivet B, so that both the head A and clamping device 0 will re volve thereon, substantially in the manner as and for the purpose set forth.

EDWIN E. HANF.
